first look

With the Season 3 premiere of 'The Vampire Diaries' just one week away, The CW is feeding our obsessions getting us even more excited for a return to Mystic Falls with even more new promo photos and episode stills.

In our first look at episode 2, titled 'The Hybrid,' we get a good look at Matt, Jeremy and their new shorter haircuts. Is it just me, or do they both look older? And hotter? If that's even possible? The shots of them together look like the beginning stages of a budding bromance.

While they might've glossed over the most important part of last season's 'Bones' finale -- Really?! Bones is pregnant with Booth's baby but you're only going to tell us about it afterwards?! -- when the show returns in October, Bones' pregnancy will be in full swing.

As you can see from the two new clips below, Bones and Booth will have very different attitudes toward dealing with the baby on board. Bones is fully aware of how her body is handling things, while Booth is just a tad overprotective of his future child.

It seems Barney Stinson has taken to basic cable reality shows for inspiration in picking up women, if the first trailer for 'How I Met Your Mother' Season 7 is to be believed. How else could you explain the ultra-long fingernails seemed to be taken directly from some sort of weird obsession show?

Aside from that failed attempt at getting a date, we see Barney and Ted bonding before the wedding, Barney and Robin dancing, and Lily being really enthusiastic about something.

With the premiere of 'The Nine Lives of Chloe King' tomorrow night, ABC Family is finally getting in on the supernatural action that's so popular among teen-centric television, literature and movies these days.

The series follows a San Francisco teen who finds out she's the key to protecting an ancient, super-powered race from evil assassins. Sounds far out, but it's actually very relatable -- especially the performance from star Skyler Samuels.

In AOL TV's exclusive sneak peek below, watch Chloe have a normal conversation with her BFF -- if your idea of normal banter is "I think I died today," that is.

Dude's clearly skilled, but that head spin at the end looks like an upside-down figure skating spin -- not an ability found in nature. Well, it is found in nature in the world of Syfy's new series 'Alphas.'

Scheduled to premiere Mon., July 11 at 10PM, 'Alphas' follows a group of people gifted with powers beyond the average human (think 'Heroes' or 'X-Men'), like the breakdancing guy in our exclusive clip.

Interested? Check out our exclusive video below, along with a new trailer. You can also visit Syfy's fun site alphapowers.com to learn more about what, exactly, Alphas can do.

With the fifth and final season of 'Friday Night Lights' both releasing on DVD today and premiering on NBC this weekend, maybe it's finally time to come to terms with the end of one of the best dramas to ever grace television screens.

If you can clear the tears from your eyes long enough to watch, check out TV Squad's exclusive deleted scene from the -- sniff -- last season in honor of today's DVD release. In it, Coach Taylor counsels Vince on the rules regarding college recruiters contacting him and luring him to their schools with free meals and other no-no perks.

This Sunday marks the final episode of HBO's 'Big Love,' and from the looks of TV Squad's exclusive clip, wherein the three Henrickson wives ride, 'Thelma and Louise'–style, in Barb's new convertible, we can only hope the final minutes of the series don't see the ladies driving toward any cliffs.

After watching said clip, Barb's Zen-like attitude leaves us pretty secure that things will turn out all right for the ladies, even though Nicki is as uptight as ever. (Of course, she's the one who asks Barb to put the top up.)

"Just relax, enjoy the ride," Barb tells her sister wife. "It's the last time we'll all be together for the first time in Honeybee." (Honeybee, of course, is the name of the car.)

Now that the threat of prison looms over Bill Henrickson's head on 'Big Love,' his three wives have some delicate issues to confront.

"Everything is going to change," Barb tells her now-not-legal-husband. Namely: If Bill goes to jail, he won't be able to -- let's say "tend to his wives' needs." Well, except for Nicki. She tells Barb and Bill that she'll be OK if Bill is imprisoned; a husband in jail is something many women in her family have dealt with

"That's easy for you to say, Nicki," Barb replies. "You're the legal wife now, so you can get conjugal visits."

It's no secret that throughout the past four seasons of 'Big Love,' Nicki has found it difficult to reconcile her upbringing on the compound with her life in normal civilization.

In this week's exclusive clip, we see the new Mrs. Henrickson go back to the compound to help other women who are in the position she once was.

"I was just like you," she tells the potential rescuee. "Scared. Trapped. No better than a slave. Look at me now -- I'm legally married. I have nice things. I live in my own house. Don't you want a life like mine?"

If divorce between a husband and a wife is a painful, drawn-out process, imagine how magnified the issue becomes when there are two other wives in the equation.

In TV Squad's exclusive 'Big Love' first look this week, Bill and Nicki discuss one of the smaller yet still important issues of Bill's impending divorce from Barb -- when Nicki signs the marriage license so she and Bill can make their marriage legal in the eyes of the law, should she sign as Nicki Henrickson or Nicki Grant?

When 'Big Love' first started, did you ever imagine the Henricksons would be heading to divorce court?

Neither did Bill, of course. In our exclusive sneak peek at Sunday's episode, the new senator laments to longtime buddy Don over his personal woes.

"I'm getting divorced, my son's adrift, my daughters are left home and the church is out to destroy me. ... I just discovered I married an underaged girl, and my soon-to-be-ex thinks she'd make a better priesthood holder than me."

On last week's episode of 'Big Love,' Margene dropped a bombshell at the Henricksons' big Christmas dinner by revealing that she was just 16 years old when she married Bill. Sister wife Nicki was none too pleased with the revelation.

In our sneak peek at Sunday's show, Nicki does her best to keep the scandalous news from being released to the public by getting Margene a new birth certificate -- one that makes her five years older than she really is. Watch the clip after the jump.
